I’ve written about Day of Judgment and sweepers before, but I thought it would be useful to provide a demonstration of the general principles involved in playing sweepers. Thus, this week, I made a video in which I detail the impact of sweepers on the game and talk about some of the principles behind playing with and against sweepers. The following is the decklist I’m playing.
